Turned on by Fashion

Fashion stylist George Kotosiopoulos was 8 years old when he knew he was gay. "It's 1976," he remembers, "I'm watching this James Bond movie. Bond grabs this gorgeous girl and embraces her and cuts her dress. Before me is this gorgeous woman standing stark naked—this is supposed to be hot stuff! But all I can think of is, 'Why did he have to go and ruin such a beautiful dress?' From that moment on, I learned that fashion turned me on more than women."
